If you have been to a doctor with health problems, and they have told you they are sending you to a gastroenterologist for more tests, you may be wondering what that is and what this type of specialist does.

In fact, a gastroenterologist is not as scary as he or she may sound. Here is some information so you know who they are and what one does before you get there.

What is a gastroenterologist? — This is a specialist of problems of the digestive system or the GI tract. A doctor with this kind of specialty treats patients who have significant digestive problems, and looks at everything to do with the digestive system to see if the problem can be solved.

Everything from simple things like minor digestive problems to more serious things like Irritable Bowel Sydrome (IBS) and cancer is treated.

What does a gastroenterologist do? — If you have had digestive or gastrointestinal tract problems that your usual doctor has not been able to treat, he or she will eventually refer you to a gastroenterologist.

They will usually start with an examination, and then run a battery of tests to find out what the problem may be. They will look at areas of your body like the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, liver, gallbladder, tongue and rectum with a variety of endoscopic instruments. Instruments designed to find problems a simple examination cannot.

If they are not able to see anything, they will then run blood tests to see if anything can be detected that could be causing your digestive problems.

A gastroenterologist does not perform surgery. Instead, they diagnose digestive and GI tract problems and recommend specific treatments. If they believe surgery is necessary, they will then refer you on to a surgeon to have that done.

Specialist gastroenterologists — Just like any other type of medicine, there are gastroenterologists that specialize in just one area of the digestive system.

These might include a gastroenterologist that only looks at Inflammatory Bowel Disease, or another that specializes in gastroesophageal reflux disease.

How much training does a gastroenterologist have? — This is one of the more extensively-trained doctors.

Not only does someone going into this type of specialization have to have a four-year university degree, they then have to have four years of medical school, three years of a residency in gastroenterology, and then a three year fellowship on top of all that.

That means a typical gastroenterologist will have had 14 years of higher and then medical education before they are even allowed to take a certification exam. It is only after passing that exam that they are allowed to call themselves gastroenterologists.

No, CBD Vape Juice isn’t some pharmaceutical euphemism for high-tech, expensive equipment… nor is it something that you drink out of a box, like apple juice. It is, in all of its glory, a liquid form of cannabis extract which has immense medicinal and health benefits. In its liquid form, it is ingested through vape pens: electronic smoking pipes that heat up the contained liquid inside, converting the liquid into an inhalable smoke. Vape pens were first popularized through tobacco in the early 2000s and have now expanded into the evergreen cannabis industry.

The medicinal benefits of CBD vape oil are actually enormous: most internet searches and CNBC interviews will give the facts on CBD. Charlotte’s Web, though, is the most popular strain of CBD cannabis due to its media coverage. It was designed specifically by the Stanley brothers in Colorado for the purpose of saving a 12-year-old girl named Charlotte Figi from having severe epileptic seizures. It has extremely high yields of CBD, yet hardly any THC or “Tetrahydrocannabinol” so that this type of cannabis actually doesn’t get you high.

CBD Vape Juice doesn’t only stop seizures, but can also help lessen migraines, acne, depression, anxiety, and even reduces pain in cancer patients. There is a whole host of health benefits associated with CBD oil, and there is no cooler way to ingest these benefits than with a vape pen. Some lesser known benefits even include reducing obesity and associated diabetes… decreasing LDL cholesterol (the bad kind- not the good HDL)… it prevents bone disease and otherwise brittle bones… repairs the skin from UV damage and sunspots… and (as one would expect) drastically reduces pain levels.

Because CBD blocks pain receptors when ingested, the feeling of pain is drastically reduced. This fact has actually been known since before the times of Queen Victoria in 1859, whose primary neurologist and physician Sir John Russell Reynolds is quoted as saying, “For the relief of certain kinds of pain, I believe, there is no more useful medicine than Cannabis within our reach”. In addition to the British empire, cannabis has been long revered throughout the centuries across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas.

With the recent decriminalization and legalization of cannabis throughout the United States recently, a new resurgence is being birthed with financial and health abundance galore. Couples are getting married and having pot parties instead of wine pairings. Grandmothers and aunts are no longer giving the stink-eye toward something which, no longer illegal or with harsh penalties, can actually help heal their aging bodies and minds. Now, when holidays and birthdays start rolling around the corner, you just might want to consider sending granny a CBD vape pen and some cool shades to go with it! Hopefully, she’ll at least she’ll enjoy the history behind CBD, as we do.

Here are five tips to attract new patients to your office.

Branding

Website

Landing Pages

Blogging

Social Media and SEO

Branding

Your brand’s message is essential. What you say to potential clients could mean the difference between them choosing you or your competition. The visuals are just as important as the message. If you can throw in some customer testimonials, that would be helpful. Customer testimonials are more useful to your branding than something you can say that sounds like a promise. Potential clients want to know what kind of experience others have had with your office. Remember to speak in the second person.

Website

Your website is the first impression potential patients will have of you. Unlike in other industries when the client walks in and browses the merchandise, cosmetic surgery patients go to the surgeon’s website first. As a surgeon trying to get more patients, you will want a responsive website.

Landing Pages

Landing pages are those parts of your website were visitors turn into leads. You can have them subscribe to your blog, subscribe to your email, and much more to get them to retain you in their mind. Keeping you in their mind is essential. After all, when they retain you in their mind, they will think about you after they have saved the money for the procedure. You do not want to have a website without at least one landing page. The more landing pages your site has, the better your potential patients will remember you.

Blogging

Blogging should be done for every businesses website. But when you are a cosmetic surgeon looking for new patients to see, it is essential for your site to have a blog. These blogs should not be generic. The blogs should be about new procedures at the office. There should be blogs about the kinds of procedures you offer in your office. Further, the blog should be about how the procedure is performed. Prospective patients want to feel at ease when they pick up their phone and call you to make an appointment.

Social Media

Every business utilizes social media to attract new business. It should come as no surprise that you, as a cosmetic surgeon looking to attract new patients should as well. There is a saying on the internet that if it does not happen on social media, it does not occur. Utilizing social media to attract new clients should be second nature. Your social media posts should be professional in tone. Do not forget to post to your social media accounts on a regular basis.

Furthermore, you should look into organic and paid SEO. Driving traffic through Google is one of the best methods to gain new clients. You can check out various SEO tutorials on how to get started or hire an agency like Practicebloom for your plastic surgery SEO.

When we hear the word ‘arthritis’ we instantly think of joint pain. That’s a correct thought. Arthritis is a disease that damages joints and causes pain that ranges from mild to immobilizing. With well over 100 different forms of arthritis, treatment options abound and no two people will have the same experience with the disease or the available treatment methods. Regardless of what form of arthritis you have or what level of pain or immobility you may have, there is one common thing – food. Everyone must eat and by eating certain foods (or eliminating them from the daily diet) you can help reduce pain and inflammation.

Anti-inflammatory Foods

Arthritis is an inflammatory disease, so if the inflammation is reduced, the pain will be also. Including foods into your daily diet that help fend off inflammation will help to keep painful flare-ups and joint damage to a minimum.

All green leafy vegetables, like kale, collards and spinach help keep inflammation down. Fruits like strawberries, oranges, blueberries and cherries combat inflammation. Cherries help play a very important role in combating the form of arthritis known as gout by keeping the level of uric acid reduce in the blood stream..

Almonds, walnuts, olive oil, tomatoes and fatty fish like salmon and tuna are great for preventing inflammation.

These anti-inflammatory foods provide multi-level treatments for arthritis; these foods prevent and reduce inflammation, they also help to keep weight in check to prevent obesity which can worsen pain and joint damage plus these foods are heart-healthy.

Inflammatory Foods

There are foods that should be included in an arthritis treatment diet plan and there are food which should be eliminated too. Certain foods can cause inflammation in the body and trigger an arthritis flare-up.

Fried foods and bread are two food groups which need to be eliminated from the diet. All sugary beverages should be eliminated as well. These foods and drinks cause inflammation and potential weight gain and offer little nutritional value. Red meat and seafood, especially if you suffer from gout, raise the level of uric acid in the blood stream and should be limited.

Foods for Osteoporosis

As previously mentioned, there are many forms of arthritis and there is no one-size-fits-all treatment plan. That includes diet. Foods needed to help combat the ravages of osteoporosis would cause other forms of the disease to worsen, so it’s needful to receive a correct diagnosis and plan a healthy diet based on the diagnosis.

Those who suffer with osteoporosis need to protect their bone health with calcium-rich foods, like low-fat dairy products and green, leafy vegetables. Red meat and shellfish should be eaten a few times each week to prevent bone loss.

To complement the above suggested options, you can also consider using CBD drops to help alleviate many of the painful symptoms of arthritis. The main ingredient in cannabis, called Cannabidiol, has been found to alleviate a lot of the pain caused by arthritis without having any psychoactive effect on the patient as CBD is the non-psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.
